Blackish brown to black; legs brown to blackish brown, with the tarsi reddish brown and sometimes the bases of the meso- and metafemora paler; antennae dark brown to blackish brown, with the basal 1-3 antennomeres reddish brown.</p><p>Head with very dense, moderately coarse, and well-defined puncturation, interstices mostly reduced to narrow ridges and without microsculpture; eyes bulging, distinctly projecting from lateral outline of head (Fig. 2). Antennae rather slender (Fig. 3); preapical antennomeres only weakly transverse.</p><p>Pronotum relatively slender, 1.20-1.25 times as wide as head and approximately 1.15 times as wide as long; lateral margins weakly angled anterior to middle, shallowly concave between lateral and posterior angles; posterior angles well-marked; near posterior angles usually with distinct oblong impression; puncturation similar to that ofhead, predominantly well-defined; interstices without microsculpture (Fig. 2).</p><p>Elytra 1.25-1.30 times as wide and approximately 0.95 times as long as pronotum; puncturation similar to that of pronotum, but slightly sparser and sometimes slightly coarser; interstices on average narrower than diameter of punctures (Fig. 2). Hind wings fully developed. Metatarsus long and slender, metatarsomere I approximately as long as the combined length of II and III.</p><p>Abdomen approximately 0.80-0.85 times as wide as elytra, widest at base (segments III/ IV), gradually tapering towards apex; puncturation very dense and somewhat granulose in anterior impressions of tergites III-V, fine and very dense on posterior half of tergite III, and moderately dense on remainder of abdominal surface, distinctly sparser on posterior than on anterior tergites; pubescence greyish and decumbent; surface without distinct microsculpture; posterior margin of tergite VII with pronounced palisade fringe (Fig. 4).</p><p>c?: tergite VIII transverse and with convex posterior margin (Fig. 5); sternite VIII weakly oblong and with broadly convex posterior margin; median lobe of aedeagus large, ventral surface of ventral process distinctly excavate (Figs. 7-11).</p><p>9: tergite VIII transverse, its posterior margin obtusely angled in middle (Fig. 12); sternite VIII transverse and with broadly convex posterior margin; spermatheca as in Fig. 14, similar to that of other species of the subgenus <i>M asuria.</i></p><p>Etymology: The species is dedicated to Andreas Kleeberg, who collected most of the material treated in the present paper, including the majority of the type specimens of this species.</p><p>Comparative notes:</p><p><i>M asuria k leebergi</i> is most similar to <i>M. spectata,</i> from which it is distinguished especially by the different morphology of the aedeagus. In <i>M. spectata,</i> the median lobe is notched at the base of the ventral process. For distinction from the sympatric <i>M. fo llita</i> and other species of the genus see the comparative notes below and the key, respectively.</p><p>Distribution and bionomics:</p><p>The known distribution is confined to several localities in the surroundings of Nyimare, Rolwaling Himal, eastern Nepal, where the types were found at altitudes of 2600- 3300 m. At least two of the specimens were collected from wet moss in the vicinity of a waterfall. One dissected female had three mature eggs in the ovaries.</p>
